could give any adequate conception OF
the elegance and convenience OF these
excursion cars which are the finest ever
built In America. The appoin nents for
eating, sleeping, csrd-playing, social
amusements Of all possible kinds are
perfect as can be. and no auch an ex-
cursion train rs this ever went
rumbling over the rails from sea to sea.
The Messrs. Raymond and Wbitcomb
have been taking excursionists over the
continent by the northwestern route for
the past three winters. but the excursion
over the summer land of America 10
bleak January will be revelation TO
those accustomed TO the frigid route. This
Is but the advance guard Of other equal
ly well equipped excursions that are to
take the Alamo city in their route from
ocean to ocean. BY this means northern
capitalists aud pleasure seekers will gain
a new idea Of this marvellous south and
Its resources, and the result cannot but
be beneficial to this city. The exour-
